An absolutely stunning large Chinese carving of a Buddhist Rakan (Arhat or Arahat), the emaciated figure wrapped in billowing robes with a hand scroll clutched in his bony right fist. The detail in the hairs around his face is incredible. The holy figure is chiseled from Ryuganki (dragons eye wood) and comes enclosed in a box dated 1922, likely the year it came to Japan, and is signed by the then owner. The Rakan is one who has broken the chain of re-birth and overcome the three poisons of de ...click for details

The Japanese have long esteemed crafts from other Asian countries and over the centuries many of these items have made the journey to this land. For a brief change of pace we will be listing a few in our catalog. Here is a truly ancient Chinese Tenmoku Chawan in dark glaze, with rivet like bumps evenly spaced across the outer surface enclosed in an old kiri-wood box. The Hakogaki (inscription inside the lid) reads TenMoku Yu Wan (Glazed Tenmoku bowl) HokuSoMatsu JiDai (Late 13th century)KaNan ...click for details

Truly it must be held to understand, this is a stunning Karamono ceramic Tenmoku Chawan acquired from a private collection in Japan, the thin body covered in mirror smooth deep molasses colored glaze. It comes wrapped in a Meiji period silk bag, enclosed in an ancient wooden box. Although Ming is the most well known period for Chinese porcelain, Stoneware did not reach a Zenith until the Ching Dynasty. The extremely thin walls taper down to a slightly thicker base in a delicate, almost imperc ...click for details

An absolutely wild heavy ceramic figure modeled in the form of a trickster with dice, his coat tails flying in excitement as he hawks his game on the street. From the very lively expression to the numbers on the tiny dice and the wood grain on the bench, it is one of the most highly detailed non-porcelain figures I have yet seen. Inside the figure is an inset stamp that reads A Hero of Youthful Age, Hand Made by Lin Wai Tung. The figure stands 10-1/2 inches (26.5 cm) tall, 8 inches (20.3 cm) ...click for details
